Birds of Passage: Hunting and Conservation in Malta
English
By (author): Mark-Anthony Falzon
In this compelling study of bird hunting and trapping in Malta, Mark Anthony Falzon makes an important contribution to anthropological understanding of environmental conflicts in Europe. Falzon takes his readers on a journey into Maltese hunters' and trappers' lives, exploring how their passion for birds is tied up with ideas of masculinity, class, and national belonging in often surprising ways. Careful to avoid sensationalising or condemning what for many is a deeply controversial practice, Falzon builds a sensitive and highly accessible ethnographic portrait that should be read by anyone interested in issues of the environment and environmentalism in the world today.
